*What is Umibotaru?
Naturally colored blue baroque Akoya pearls, cultivated by one of Japan's leading farmers with 120 years of history in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are named "Umibotaru" and certified as a single pearl BRAND.
The beautiful interference colors of Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre layer.
Naturally occurring blue is an accidental color, and it is rare and highly prized for it to evenly cover the entire pearl.
While naturally blue Akoya pearls are considered prone to color change, "Umibotaru" pearls have a thick nacre and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to minimize color change.
Customers who purchase Umibotaru pearls will receive a certification card.
You can read an interview with the producers of Umibotaru here.

【Nickel-Free】
Our metal fittings (K18, PT900) are "nickel-free," made without any nickel, which is a common cause of metal allergies.
※We do not guarantee that all individuals will be free from metal allergic reactions (allergy-free). If you experience any skin abnormalities, please discontinue use immediately and consult a medical professional.
【Handling of Screw Parts】
This product features a "loosening prevention treatment" applied to the screw threads.
※Some parts may not be treated.
This treatment involves coating the screw threads with a thin, elastic film, which uses friction to prevent screws from loosening due to vibration or other factors.
However, as it is not a locking mechanism, there is still a possibility of screws loosening depending on usage conditions.
When using, please ensure the screw is securely fastened before wearing, and periodically check for any loosening during wear to ensure safer use.
This product uses K18 or Pt900.
Compared to materials like iron, these do not have high hardness, so there is a risk of the screw part wearing down or breaking depending on usage.
Please be careful not to apply excessive upward or downward force when screwing it in.
In the unlikely event that the screw part deteriorates and becomes difficult to use, please contact us. We can offer repair services or suggest remodeling ideas to repurpose it into a different piece of jewelry.
Please contact us via the contact page on our website.

・When cleaning the metal parts, be careful not to touch the screw part or the pearl.
・Pearls can change color or crack if left in hot and humid environments for extended periods. Always store them in a cool, dark place.
